A full and complete clothing and accessory wardrobe has the right mix of classic go-to and trendy pieces. With a well balanced wardrobe, finding the right outfit to suit any occasion, event or weather should be a snap!  

The same ideals should be applied to your fragrance collection. Especially when you consider the seasons. In winter, we tend to wear more gourmand, spicier and heavier fragrances. However, in summer we usually gravitate towards light, clean, floral and fruity scents. I love the idea of updating your perfumes with a new fragrance every season to suit your fresh new style. While some perfumes seem dated now (think any popular 80's scent), there are ones that stand the test of time and transcend seasons. We think every chick should try these staple scents at least once in her life.

With a complete fragrance wardrobe of new and staple scents, you'll always be able to find the perfect perfume that will have strangers in the street stopping you to ask, 'is that you that smells so good?'.
